Tilshead - beautifully appointed home for the extended family
Tilshead is a recently built, architecturally designed, family home. This exceptional, bespoke house was created to offer a practical space, yet the owners have spared no expense in creating a luxurious, contemporary residence where you can also bring your four legged friends.
Unusually, this modern dwelling offers exceptionally large bedrooms, marble floors and a stylish open plan lounge and kitchen, which have been thoughtfully designed and tastefully decorated. Bi-folding doors lead to a good sized garden, mostly laid to lawn, overlooked by a large feature patio, ideal for BBQs and al-fresco dining or just gazing across to the sea and Isle of Wight beyond.
Tilshead would suit a large family or group of adults and is ideally positioned in the lovely Purbeck village of Langton Matravers. Within the village (and walking distance) you can enjoy a day out at Putlake Adventure Farm, dine in the local village pub or visit the small local history museum. You can also enjoy a number of fabulous Jurassic Coast country walks including the spectacular Dancing Ledge. Sandy beaches and the town of Swanage are just two miles, and the National Trust owned ruins and village of Corfe Castle is just three miles. An easy drive will take you to a host of attractions, beaches and large towns.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard.

A wonderful half term break!
Tilshead is even better than the photos. After living there a couple of days we realised that the flow of the house is so well thought through. It made for a happy and comfortable week. The location is brilliant! The beaches of Swanage and Studland are within easy reach and it’s a beautiful walk over the fields to the spectacular ‘dancing ledge’. There’s also a playground and playing field for the kids just a few yards away.

Pleasant
Property was nice but the master bedroom on suite had a very damp smell coming from it.
Think it could probably benefit from a new shower cubicle.
People outside late at night arguing.
